@akhilachandran
Fashion content writer and multimedia journalism graduate, delivering SEO-driven stories and shoppable editorial experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Multimedia Journalism graduate with newsroom exposure and hands-on experience across print, digital, and broadcast formats. Through internships with THE WEEK and United News of India (UNI), I built a strong editorial foundation in research, interviewing, and writing that stays accurate, clear, and audience-first.
In my current role as a Fashion Content Writer (Remote), I manage end-to-end online platform operations, research and publish fashion/beauty/lifestyle content, and translate emerging trends into editorial, styling, and shoppable stories. I also leverage AI tools to automate parts of the workflow and deliver more personalized shopping experiences.
I’m experienced in multimedia storytelling—interviewing, developing story angles, and distilling complex information into clean, compelling copy under tight deadlines. I also support digital engagement by managing CMS publishing (WordPress) and using analytics to refine both content and social performance.
Beyond fashion writing, I’ve worked as a Documentation Officer handling immigration documentation and maintaining accurate records. That attention to detail and ethical standards carries directly into my journalism work, where I prioritize proofreading, editing, and reader-focused storytelling.
